From: APN on 22 May 2010 12:06 Take a look at the osd package - http://wiki.tcl.tk/15951 Locate where you icon is placed on the taskbar and use osd command to display an animated alert at that position. You could also roll your own using one of the zillion "balloon" widget packages on the wiki or in tklib. /Ashok On May 22, 1:21 pm, dave <i...(a)clubnet.ie> wrote: > On May 19, 11:55 pm, "Gerald W.

I would suggest that you use the library called notifier instead (same author, i.e. ... me) http://www.sics.se/~emmanuel/?Code:notifier use it as follows: Create the notifier with set n [::notifier::new -animate up -keyframes {400 20000 1000}] frame ${n}.top pack ${n}.top .... # Fill your notifier with something in other words. To show your notifier: $n show To hide it at once $n withdraw For a number of projects I have modified the transparency of the notifier using wm attributes.
